Abstract

We present the effect of yttrium substitution on superconductivity in the La1−xYxO0.5F0.5BiS2 system. Polycrystalline samples with nominal Y concentrations up to 40% were synthesized and characterized via electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific-heat measurements. Y substitution reduces the lattice parameter a and unit-cell volume V, and a correlation between the lattice parameter c, the La-O-La bond angle, and the superconducting critical temperature Tc is observed. The chemical pressure induced by Y substitution for La produces neither the high-Tc superconducting phase nor the structural phase transition seen in LaO0.5F0.5BiS2 under externally applied pressure.
